“I've now tried out four foot massagers in my quest to find the best one. Like others, I first tried out the HoMedics air foot massager at Bed Bath & Beyond. For the most part I really enjoyed the HoMedics massager. It heated up quickly, maintained a good, satisfying pressure, and felt surprisingly human-like. Unfortunately it crushed my toes to the point of being painful during part of the massage. When I got home I did some research and decided to buy the Miko shiatsu massager, based on all the good reviews. I was not impressed. It feels nice enough, but is not nearly as satisfying as the HoMedics massager. The Miko foot massager doesn't feel at all human-like, takes a long time to heat up, and doesn't maintain a consistent pressure. I decided to buy the Renpho and Quinear foot massagers to see if I could find a better option. Both the Renpho and Quinear foot massagers are great for different reasons. If you enjoy really strong pressure in a massage the Quinear is the way to go. The highest pressure setting is actually too intense even for me (and I like a lot of pressure). The Renpho doesn't come close to the pressure level of the Quinear. However, it does hold the entire foot, rather than leaving the ankle out, as most foot massagers do. This means that your heel gets more attention using the Renpho. It also makes you feel more pampered. The kneading massage feels very nice on both the Renpho and Quinear massagers, and they both heat up quickly and maintain a steady pressure, but neither feel quite as human-like as the HoMedics. In the end I chose to keep the Quinear massager because I enjoy the very strong pressure.”
“I originally bought this on a whim as one day my feet were really sore after working all day. I regretted it the next day as I didn't feel I should spend this much money on such a frivolous item, so my plan was to send it back. When I received it I thought I would just try it out first as TRAKK is usually pretty good about opened returns. I'm so glad I did. The massage is awesome in itself but the best part is how much more comfortable I feel all day. Using it just 15 min makes me feel like I am wearing a really comfortable pair of shoes for the rest of the day-and I'm not. I would really recommend this product and I've really only written about 5 reviews on anything in my life.”
“This is an incredible machine for foot pain. It ranges in pressure from "firm relaxing massage" to deep kneading. I have issues with my feet and a lot of pain as a result so I use the medium setting with heat for 15 min and then the high setting with heat for 15 min. Best 30 min of my day. The pressure can be intense at times on the high setting however it is exactly what my feet need. Very impressed.”
“I gave this as a gift and my friend loved it , so I bought me one two, it's solid and my feet are so bad when I stand up it hurts to walk , so glad I bought andits really help my planterFasciitis!!”
“All of this unit has great potential to do what is intended. The bottoms of my feet really need this unit to function properly. It is a poorly assembled mechanism inside of it. Just under normal use the rollers under my feet would stop and start a loud clicking sound as if it was under powered or not very well assembled. I'm returning it for that reason. Also the attached the name.”
“This review is not a review of a bad quality product. It's just my first hand opinion using it Talk about how the compression boot popped while foot was in it.---Male - Size 9 FootAs a runner who physically pushes his feet through a lot of miles and meters, I was anxious to try this HIGHLY RATED foot massager; especially since it offers compression as well as massage. Upon first use, I found that I couldn't get a quality foot position, massage setting and compression all together. It always ended with a very painful compression feeling. I often use compression boots, so I know the importance of a great quality fit of compression. Once you find a great massage, I would often get an extremely tight compression and it would push even deeper into massage that did not feel good. I did find a sweet spot here and there, but never back to back. Some time sI'd position my foot deeper in the boot; sometimes right to the back. The heel compression and heel massage needs much more development. The compression stops at the bottom of the heel when it SHOULD stop at the base of the achilles. The heal massage is more of a prodding feeling and not a rolling. It wasn't terrible, but just wasn't great.>>About the compression boot popping: Fair disclaimer I did use the massage 3-4 times/day for an hour at a time. Not sure how much testing goes through these designs. Got to a fairly tight compression and the left boot just popped. Wasn't a painful explosion, it was just a 'WTF' feeling. Noticed immediately that the compression stopped holding.Overall this product isn't terrible, but it might not be for individuals like myself who are accustomed to foot massages from trainers and compression boots. Mediocre is the best I can explain my experience. Price point wasn't bad for initial purchase, but not for a mediocre experience. Sorry.”
